  1. As opposed to a federal deficit of 316 the previous month. Next year's deficit is projected to be about 1.3 trillion.
  2. I do wire transfers using Schwab and they charge $15. The break even point with WISE is $3500-4000 for me, depending on the exchange rate. If your bank charges more or less than Schwab then that changes the equation. Generally, WISE is more expensive for large amounts but it requires analysis.
  3. Many Thais I know prefer gold over savings accounts, Thai bank savings rates are very low.
  4. Yes,it was glucagon. EMTs first did a blood sugar test and then IM injection with glucagon. My doctor said every type 1 diabetic should have an emergency kit. I was going to order online from a Canadian pharmacy (much cheaper than USA) but ran out of time before my return trip to LOS. Looking for a Thai source and this explains all the questions. I'll probably have to order online, not my choice, but I don't like dealing with Thai Customs.
  5. Thanks for the reply. I know the paramedics have it here bc they used it on me. My American doctor said it is essential for someone my age. I guess it is not available to the general public here, but I will check with my BPH doctor as I would think products like Novo Disk Glucagen or Xeris Gvoke would be available here. Buying it online and shipping is something I would like to avoid.
  6. Where can I purchase a glucagon emergency kit for diabetics suffering an insulin reaction (loss of consciousness). Sometimes it takes 45 minutes for emergency ambulance to respond. Typically requires a doctor's prescription.
  7. Sinocare is my backup system, very basic but no problems. Bought on Lazada. I use a OneTouch monitor and generic Unistrip test strips from EBay. They are fraction of the costs as I test multiple times per day. Friends are my mules to avoid the hassles with Customs.
  8. A USA warranty will not be honored here so you must factor any repair costs, shipping costs and down-time into your decision. I purchased a Samsung phone in USA and the warranty was not honored here. Something like an Apple product might be an exception.
  9. The Saudis and Putin have placed huge orders!
